T-Mobile is the last of the big four carriers to update the Galaxy S7, S7 Edge and LG G6 to Oreo, also sending security patches to the Note 5 and S8 Active.
In some cases, Security Research Labs says that manufacturers simply just moved the date of the patch level forward without executing the patches themselves.
Not only will Samsung's Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge stay on Nougat for all eternity after all, but the two spring 2015 flagships have had their security updates terminated as well.
It was easy to predict but that doesn't make it any less sad. Discontinued way back in 2016, Google's Nexus Player is officially reaching the end of the road in terms of software support as well.
Regardless of your operating system, web browser or "modern" computer of choice, including smartphones, Meltdown and Spectre security threats are real and really scary.
The Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro run Android 8.0 Oreo, and so should the Huawei Mate 9 in a matter of weeks. Monthly security updates are also a possibility.
Smoother and faster than ever thanks to a software update focused on security and performance, the Essential Phone is now also available in Sprint stores.
How ridiculous is it that officially unlocked Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge models stateside are now receiving OTA March security patches applied over Marshmallow?
It's unclear what are the "challenges" holding back unlocked US Galaxy S7 versions, but "soon" enough, you should start receiving monthly security patches.
